* New in version 2.1

- Improved slide effect; now it behaves normal or cycled (resulting in eight modes).
- Image-specific background color (meaningful with cycle-based effects and with slight opacities for background tint simulation).
- Space around the instance in percentages and/or pixels; this allows to setup the background areas to not be covered.
- Fixed a minor blur transition issue on Edge.
- Fixed a minor z-order issue in layers with other relative elements on some browsers.
- Minor code optimizations.

- New extension: [rz] Background Images (synchro); it allows to start all the [rz] Background Images instances in the same page at the same time once all of them are ready and their images have been loaded.
